Primitive Daguerreotype "portrait Of An Elegant Woman In Traditional Costume" C.1845 Photograph
Very beautiful daguerreotype of an elegant young woman in traditional costume. The daguerreotype is colorized and the jewelry is enhanced with gold. Format: 7 x 9 cm In a varnished pinchpin frame 18.5 x 20.5 cm. The clear mat is typical of primitive daguerreotypes, black mats will be systematized after 1850. The daguerreotype is the first photographic process developed by Nicéphore Niépce then Louis Daguerre and offered to the whole world (except the United Kingdom) by France in 1839. It is both a negative and a positive, hence this characteristic mirror effect. In the 19th century, they were also poetically called "mirrors that remember".
